Tom, I believe that those professionals who have published their
information for peer review should be praised...and not belittled as you
are trying.
If you wish to publish your particular version of the facts, please do
so that all may benefit...and comment. You claim to have all the
pertinent papers of others somewhere so why not give us the benefit of
your knowledge.
Who knows, you may be right but so far I have not read squat on the
subject in any recognized publication. In the meanwhile I will remain
fat, dumb and happy and accept the writings of recognized experts.
